The protein factor U2AF is an essential component required for pre-mRNA splicing. Mutations identified in the S. pombe large U2AF subunit were used to engineer transgenic Drosophila carrying temperature-sensitive U2AF large subunit alleles. Mutant recombinant U2AF heterodimers showed reduced polypyrimidine tract RNA binding at elevated temperatures. Genome-wide RNA profiling comparing wild-type and mutant strains identified more than 400 genes differentially expressed in the dU2AF50 mutant flies ...[more]
